As all too many rape victims discover when they speak out, many react by just wishing the victim would shut up and go away.

Often, it feels just easier to pressure the …

As scientists lean increasingly toward recognizing that nonhuman animals are conscious in one way or another, the …
Here’s a question for you: If you dramatically scale up schools in which students have fewer rights than students who attend traditional public schools, with what do you end up? If you answered “more students with fewer rights,” congratulations — you have won the opportunity to learn more on this important, yet little discussed topic. Dr. Preston Green [3] is a professor …

A sangha is a community of friends practicing the dharma together in order to bring about and to maintain awareness. The essence of a sangha is awareness, understanding, acceptance, harmony and love.

Singer, songwriter and entertainer – Mario Bonds was floored (along with most of America) Wednesday night when all three American Idol judges thought he didn’t have what it takes. For the first time, Mario talks with Mark about his performance, the judges criticism and you won’t believe what one incredibly insensitive American Idol Producer said to Mario regarding his blindness!

Prof. Peter Duesberg is professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California at Berkeley. He was the first to isolate a cancer gene through his work with retroviruses back in 1970 and mapped the genetic structure of this class of viruses. His work in retrovirus research awarded him an election to the National Academy of Sciences and Outstanding Investigator Grants from the National Institutes of Health. Based upon his knowledge of retroviruses, he has been at the forefront in challenging the virus-AIDS hypothesis and has published in the world’s leading medical journals. As a consequence, Dr. Duesberg’s hypothesis has won support from many scientists who have been outcast from publishing their views, including Nobel laureates such Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR technology.
